What a deal!

What, you say, are the best hot dogs? They are Zweigle's White Hots! (at least in my opinion). They are having their annual March Madness sale -

5 packages of Zweigles dogs, your choice, and you get 2 packages free, delivered for only $64.90. Or you can up to the 12 package deal where you get more free. My daughter likes the cooler they use, as it looks like a large Lego block. Last cooler, she asked me to buy spray paint for her (she's not 21 yet), so I got some red, and we had a large red Lego. Unfortunately she sprayed it on the lawn, so we had a red spot on our front lawn too for a while, until the grass grew out.

White hots are from Rochester, NY, and started back years ago, and are sold at the minor league stadium in Rochester. I grew up with these things - Grandma would come for a visit with 3 suitcases. One of clothes, one full of red hots, the other full of white hots. We sure looked forward to her visits.

A white hot, according to the Zweigle's website, is:

One of 'America’s 8 Best Boardwalk Foods' is a combination of pork, beef and veal and our famous old world recipe, stuffed in a natural pork casing for a product that is bursting with flavor.

Its's mild, and you cook it till it pops open, and is blackened on the outside, as shown below:

On another note, McCain and Graham make me SOOOO mad, I would gladly bring tar and feathers up to DC to give them a good coating of both, and then help ride them out on a rail!

Diane:How come every time I drop by HERE...I go away HREALLY UNGRY???Damn, those dogs look GOOD!!!(here I was sold on NATHAN'S on Coney Island for like...EVER!)And NYC always had some great "foot-longs", too.

Now, we gotta get you acquainted with some good old-fashioned PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS!(and HOAGIES...lol)

MY appetite thanks you.

Have a great weekend, a happy St. Patty's Day and do stay safe down there.

Those dogs are the BEST I've ever had. And that reminded me that I still have a pack in the freezer - gonna pick up some buns tonight at the store, and take them out, and it's tomorrow night's dinner. The only thing nasty about the cheesesteaks is - GREEN PEPPERS. I cannot stand them. I guess I could use poblanos instead, I like those peppers. It's spring here, the wildflowers are already out and about.

We're going out to eat for dinner tonight (date night) so no corned beef & cabbage for me :)
